I'm seeing a lot of talk on the number of DoT about scholar but not much about what i think is the problem at the moment.

In my opinion scholar has been cut down way too heavily from what it was.
In Stormblood it had many (too many?) spells to chain up either if you wanted to do damage or heal.

The multiple DoTs to chain with the spreading of them took a big part of its cycle if you wanted to use it fully.
In that regard, reducing it to a single DoT wasn't that outlandish a choice imo. The one i think weird though is getting the spread fonctionality out, as it was made to cleverly initiate a fight by putting DoT and then focusing on healing. They took it out as well as the energy drain (later reintroduced) making it basically unable to use any offensive spells with aether.

The second thing i find odd is getting the fairies specificity out. Eos and Selene are now just color swaps, and the gcd buffing capability is gone, which is odd seeing how it could have been improved instead of taken out. Seraph is "ok" i guess, if not a bit weak for its cooldown and using it doesn't really impact the basic fairy skills that much.
All in all i think they shoould have bet a bit more on the faery gauge for actions.
For example let Selene and Eos have specificities but use the faery gauge to be able to swap between the both of them.

Healers seem to have taken the bottom of the barel concerning the work done on them.
I still enjoy SCH, just wish it was a bit more.
